... even some older couples that were staying in the hostel. The second night I had 3 French couples in their fifties sharing the dorm room with me. And the bathrooms were fairly clean (though I still wore my sandals into the shower) and they served a pasta dinner every night and had 30min of free internet every day. So yeah, I could do that again no problem. And it let me meet some interesting people&#8230;an architect ...

We are planning a couple of days in Viterbo now.<br>Chance to look around this lovely town with its Medieval district and also to visit Villa Lante<br>This is us parked under the walls of the town

... strawberry:) We did meet a great couple from Scotland today, Bob and Flora and they informed me that the Sutherland Clan was not very well liked in Scotland!!! Had a few laughs over that one. Tonight we were late leaving because there was a traffic jam of boats with Royal Carribean, Costa and the Royal Princess leaving before us. We just had cocktail hour on our balcony and watched the show. Goodbye Roma...now on to Florence!!!

... life. Periodically doing some window shopping and entering stores of intrigue! When shopping, Rick usually has a talent for seeking out sporting goods stores and he didn't disappoint. With no map or GPS, navigating the streets of a foreign country and language, he was able to seek out a cycling shop. Fortunately, we couldn't bring a bike back onto the ship so I was confident he wasn't going to make a purchase that would ...

... 8217;t too good (to put it mildly). That being said it was a beautiful sunny day &#8211; about 28 degrees and we had a great drive and visit in Amalfi itself. We had dinner that night with Ron and Leslie (Saskatoon) as they were leaving the ship the next day in Rome at the end of their cruise. We had a fun evening in the Italian restaurant on the ship &#8211; lots and lots of wine and bad Italian food.<br><br>Had to get up the following day at 5 ...

... Casino for a few minutes, lost a couple of bucks and decided to call it a night.<br><br>Pictures are not uploading that great...so might just have one or two from each stop.<br><br>Right now we are sailing to the Amalfi Coast which we will reach in the morning.  I already ordered my smoke salmon breakfast to be delivered to the room and we are ready for bed.<br><br>Miss you all.  Brian and Julie

... cabin for <br>the last several days. Spent the day back in Civitivecchia (Rome <br>port) as the midpoint of our two ten day cruises. So a bunch of new <br>people are on board now. I'm guessing maybe 200-300 of 2000 stayed <br>for both halves of our extended cruise.<br>Only excitement today was that it was very windy while in port today <br>and the waves were crashing big on the breakwater. Kai and I went to <br>get a ...

... running earlier that day. Well, alas, it was not. So we had to walk ALL the way down Trestevere...which was a pretty long walk. It was nice, however, to finally see it, since we only do while moving past on the Tram. The three of us found a cute stand and each bought dresses. Later that night, we decided to go out for a bite of dinner. We tried this restaurant we got a recommendation for named Uovo. It was very chic, we kept saying how it resembled an episode of Sex in ...

... getting lost, finding random beautiful churches. I ended up at St. Peters Basilica and climbed all the way to the top of the dome! What a view! You had to shove a few people over to see it and to have some camera space but it was really really cool! The inside of St. Peters was equally impressive and I spent some time just inside there taking it all in. For a minute I thought the Pope was coming out to give mass, but it was just some other ...
